1"Bhikkhus, for direct knowledge of lust, seven things are to be developed. What seven?

The perception of impermanence, the perception of non-self, the perception of unattractiveness, the perception of danger, the perception of abandoning, the perception of dispassion, the perception of cessation. For direct knowledge of lust, these seven things are to be developed."

1"Rāgassa, bhikkhave, abhiññāya satta dhammā bhāvetabbā. Katame satta?

Aniccasaññā, anattasaññā, asubhasaññā, ādīnavasaññā, pahānasaññā, virāgasaññā, nirodhasaññā – rāgassa, bhikkhave, abhiññāya ime satta dhammā bhāvetabbā"ti.
